Senior Data Engineer at NRL in Warrington
ExperiencedRemoteWarrington
Job Description
Have you built data solutions for major infrastructure or capital delivery programmes?
Do you understand project controls data – cost, schedule, risk, change – and can you design Azure-based platforms that give programme leaders accurate, actionable insights? If so, we want to talk to you.
This is not a generic data engineering role – our client needs someone who combines hands-on Azure experience with project environment knowledge (construction/infrastructure/energy/nuclear preferred) to deliver robust data foundations for reporting across NEC, Primavera P6, and other industry tools.
You’ll be working mostly remotely but expected to attend occasional sessions in Warrington for mobilisation workshops, project reviews, or key delivery milestones.
Location and Working Pattern
As part of a digital project controls transformation, you’ll create data pipelines and models underpinning critical reporting on multi-billion-pound projects in regulated sectors. Your work will bring together data from cost, schedule, and risk systems into governed layers ready for Power BI dashboards used by programme leadership.
Responsibilities
If you’re a hands-on Azure Data Engineer with capital delivery experience and want to shape the data foundations of major infrastructure programmes, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today or contact our recruitment team for details.
The NRL Group connect global companies with the right people to bring engineering projects to life. Supporting contracting companies with energy transition plans and working with our clients to create a cleaner, greener future.
We welcome applications from every walk of life and are committed to diversity within the industries we support, as a certified Inclusive Recruiter and Armed Forces friendly employer. You can ensure you stay safe when job searching online by visiting the JobsAware website.
